Answer

Answer C

Work Step by Step

Spot two points: $(0,3)\rightarrow (x_1,y_1)$ $(1,4)\rightarrow (x_2,y_2)$ Use point-slope form to find the slope: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{4-3}{1-0}=1$ $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ $y-3=1(x-0)$ $y=x+3$ The boundary line is dashed, so the inequality symbol is either $\lt$ or $\gt$. The symbol must be $\lt$, because the region below the boundary line is shaded. The inequality is: $y \lt x+3$ $x-y \gt -3$ The correct answer is C.
